Driemanskap

In 2001 the Cape Flats township of Gugulethu gave birth to a force of nature that would come to be known as Driemanskap. This 4-man crew, made up of members El Nino, Ma-B, Redondo and Dla, has gone from strength to strength, driving crowds crazy with their high energy, hurricane-like performances. Driemanskap form the vanguard of the new generation of proudly South African Hip-Hop artists who understand that hip-hop, more than any other musical art form, is about addressing important issues and representing where you’re from. They are one of the pioneers of the Spaza movement, representing Cape Town with a rhyme style that combines their mother tongue, isiXhosa, with English and Cape Flats slang.

One of the hardest working crews in Cape Town, Driemanskap have paid their dues performing all over South Africa, always taking their music to the people at park jams and community events, as well as major corporate events and festivals. When they’re not busy touring, Driemanskap are in studio putting final touches to their sophomore album.
